Australia.
Aircraft: PBY VH-PBZ (Airworthy)
Restoration by: HARS - Australian Seaplane Pilots Association.
Aircraft owner: HARS - Australian Seaplane Pilots Association.
Location:
Remarks by Bob Cleworth:
Joint venture; active restoration to a wartime configuration.
The first stage of painting to black and with RAAF roundels
on the fuselage and tail fin flash has been completed.
The next stage to put RAAF roundels on the upper side of the wings
(mainplane) is in progress, I believe the intention is the refit
a bow turret and waste blisters and that the water tight integrity
be restored to allow water alightings and take offs.
